Classic right bank bordeaux wine. Decanting for 10 minutes helps with the funky initial nose. The wine is growing on me, but for $7 you can't go wrong. On the nose, deep dark jammy fruit notes. On the palate, medium acidity transitioning into a moderately balanced wine. Could use a tender filet mignon or possibly a new york strip to accompany it. I would buy it again.

Concentrated fruit and alcohol, but a strong taste of acetic acid which dominates what could otherwise have been an average Bordeaux Superieur. After one hour, it comes back together but not sufficiently to make it a pleasant experience.

Decent everyday wine. Does better after being open for an hour or so.
